The Bangladesh Police on Wednesday denied Indian press reports that the police had entered the Indian territory and arrested one, as published in the Economic Times of India on Tuesday.
Terming the report false, baseless and fabricated, the inspector general of police, Noor Mohammad, told New Age, ‘I have yet to hear the news, but I am confirmed that the Bangladesh police has never entered the Indian territory.’
Saying that the allegations are ‘baseless,’ the Kurigram deputy commissioner, Jalal Uddin, told New Age, ‘A team of the Bhurungamari police, led by assistant subinspector Abdul Latif, conducted a raid on Dakkhin Bashjani early Tuesday to arrest a convict named Hossain Ali.’
‘As Hossain and his associates attacked the police, the police fired six gunshots in which Hossain was injured. He was then arrested at a jungle,’ Jalal said, adding the Bangladesh Police never entered the Indian territory.
The Bhurungamari police officer-in-charge, Aslam Iqbal, told New Age, ‘Our team conducted the raid and fired on the criminals.’ ‘The arrested and the injured police officer were treated in Kurigram Health Complex and were later shifted to Rangpur Medical College Hospital,’ Aslam said.
Hossain Ali, 40, meanwhile, died from his injuries in Rangpur Medical College Hospital at about 1:30pm.
